Help losing weight?!

Help losing weight?

Okay so I'm like 5'1" or 5'2" and weigh around 140lbs at 15 years old. I do not feel comfortable at all and need to lose weight! Since February I've only lost like 12lbs. on my on-again-off-again diet. What can I do to lose weight? It's mostly my mid-section I need to work on.

Oh and how much should I weigh? My goal is 95-105lbs.

1. Keep a Food Journal
This will help you become aware of what and HOW MUCH you eat.
2a. Read food labels
2b. Portion control your meals.
Measure all your food. From home cooking, snacks, even fast food. For example a large bag of chip, if you grab a bunch of chips or eat straight out of the bag you don't realize that you've had several serving of chips ( a serving could only be 8 chips).
3. Exercise.
Just walking for 20-30 minutes a day is the easiest way to start your workout routine. Then as you become stronger start adding variety to your cardio (change the intensity & increase the duration ) and include strenght training (2x a week).
Since you want to focus on your Abs, do an ab routine 2-3x a week.
4. Set a long term goal as well as short term goals. For example:
Your long term goal is to lose 20+lbs.
Your short term goal could be to lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks.
Just update your short term goals once you reach them and don't forget to reward yourself ( new workout outfit, mani/pedi,new walking shoes, etc)

Remember to that everyone loose weight at a different rate, the more you weight the faster you (could possibly) lose the weight, you need to make the effort and detication to change your body.
